Hello, I'm currently conducting a very serious high school research project titled: Maximizing Energy Efficiency of a Linear Electromagnetic Accelerator I have recently been bestowed with a temporary license for a very advanced 3-dimensional electromagnetism simulator that should allow me...

Curl, I think you should read the problem again. There is no way that a lever would work in this situation. Malemdk, antitank missiles use explosives to accelerate a smaller projectile. All of the energy in this system is kinetic energy. I have another question. If I was able to give both...

Yes, but instead of momentum, kinetic energy. I'm not sure if there is any way to do this in a real-world situation without large losses.

The armature must be low-carbon steel, and it would be preferable for the projectile to be low-carbon steel as well. All of the energy in the system will be kinetic, no rotational energy, etc. You can imagine the system as one-dimensional, if that will help. The armature will be moving at the...

I understand what you are saying, but unfortunately, I think you have misinterpreted my goal. I don't want to increase the total energy of the closed system, but rather increase the total velocity. Imagine that you have a 4 kilogram mass and a 1 kilogram mass traveling in zero gravity with a...

Hello, I'm currently a junior in high school and had an interesting idea that relates to my science fair project. If this is possible, it could create something truly innovative. My question: Is there a way for a high mass armature's (projectile carrying device) kinetic energy to be...
